Easy Halloween Meringue Pop Treats

Directions

Making The Meringue

1. In a mixing bowl, dilute the meringue powder in the hot water.

2. Using a mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the meringue until a light foam forms.

3. Add sugar in three increments while still mixing and wait for the sugar to be completely combined each time.

4. Whip until firm but soft peaks form.

5. Divide the meringue into bowls and add color by folding it in. Use gel food coloring to make different colors depending on the theme of your meringue pops.

6. Preheat the oven to 250°

Making The Pops

1. Fill your tipless bags with the batter and pipe your spooky friends onto parchment paper.

2. To make sure the cookie pop stick will stay intact, pipe a small amount of batter onto the parchment paper to place the stick into before piping the rest of the pop, as you see Wil do in the video below.
3. Wil used piping tips to create different textures in the meringue, but you can do this without them if you'd like. Make sure to cut the opening of your tipless bag small enough to give you more control over where you're piping the batter. If the hole is too big, too much batter will come out at once.

4. Bake between 30-50 minutes and let dry overnight.

5. When the meringue is dry you can use colored royal icing, edible dusts and more to decorate the pops.
